Glenn,
A year or so back I stumbled into this built-in coffee maker, which I
purchased for my galley:
http://www.lancelarkin.com/htmls/brew.htm
It is similar to the one you found on Defender, but I suspect
significantly higher quality, and with decidedly more complex
plumbing. At first there was a bit of sticker shock, but I found one
on ebay well below half the sticker price. I think they have been
cracking down non-sanctioned vendors recently, however, so your
mileage may vary. I can't yet give you first hand experience with it,
as mine is still in the box awaiting the final fabrication of the
galley in my project boat.
The price of so many purchases on this project, from deck hardware to
the rising cost of epoxy, have triggered the sphincter clamping reflex
that its becoming harder to find a gauge for all the costs. But when I
take just one step back and remember the whole damn boat is just one
complex equation about a quality of life, the price of a decent cup of
coffee becomes a little more palatable (or so I've told myself).
Best regards,
Collin
